[tor-talk] metric moving theoretical attack, what I don't know



Hello List,

not so sure if this have been discussed before:
(vulnerable directory fetching/host security)

Run a tor network from scratch with no dogdyness, with
middle.nodes, exit nodes and bridges. Control a directory
server. Run no virus or other attacks in it. Now having
a mathematical model that can see node/metric being never
connected with the real tor network. How to identify the
wrong directory server, except from having good starting
defaults. (that is, sane DNS, sane provider)

table:
node junk1 is active and sane from view junk view
node junk1 is inactive and sane from view view

attacks now:
isolation (done with saneness)
more nodes (directory server)
more traffic (run vulnerable tor software)

How to ensure sane-ness of directory server?

Does it make sense to measure metric to other nodes?


Greetings
